i watched a docu about the first man on the moon yesterday. we’re the americans bla-blah, we were on the moon first, blah. remarkable however was one astronaut’s statement “we had come all the way and were orbiting moon and yeah i guess it was nice, but the image that caught me and still holds me until the present day, was the one of earth coming up behind the lunar surface. i was sitting there staring out the window and thinking that we had to come all this way, just to discover how beautiful earth is. everything, everything we know of crammed together on that beautiful planet floating out there, tears ran down my cheeks. i never believed in god that much before”

i believe.
